Black Joe Lewis & The HoneybearsBlack Joe Lewis & The Honeybears [EP]
Lost Highway Records [2009]
Fire Drills Review:
You might not expect this combo of soul, blues and attitude to smoke up out of Austin, Texas but Black Joe Lewis and his Honeybears bring it right at you with their 12 minute 4 song preview EP. With songs like "Bitch, I Love You" and "Master Sold My Baby" it is definitely new school but Lewis reincarnates the energy and spirit of James Brown, which is instantly likable. This preview will certainly build some anticipation for their Lost Highway full length Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! due March 17th.
Key Track:"Bitch, I Love You"
Band With Similar Fire: RL Burnside
